Hey all, Brad here… Quick question.
If you’re reading this then I’m guessing you’re at least a semi-frequent visitor to GameCritics. While the site is now 100% ad-free and will remain that way, as editor, I get a ton of PR emails and announcements for upcoming games.
In general we don’t post these, but I figured it might be a good time to revisit the issue and get some reader feedback. As someone who comes to the site, are you interested in seeing simple, press-release style announcements about future titles?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
Cheers!

Thanks to everybody for the comments! After giving it some thought and weighing the feedback, I think we’re only going to run PR announcements IF someone on the staff has a personal interest in that particular game. We’ll give this a shot and see how it goes… Please let me know what you think after we’ve run a few! Your opinion matters! = )
No. Please don’t turn into one of those.
Gah! *don’t* interest me personally
They only interest me personally.
I’d be ok with it. Especially if a staff member’s already excited about it. I also like Elio’s idea of including comments from the staff.
I don’t think it would be bad. It would be cool if they included some comments from the staff.
Not really. I know you do this on your blog, but I see most of it as pompous spam (no offense !).
If it’s something you or someone on staff really cares about, maybe? Otherwise, that doesn’t sound like it’s worth your time, and I’d be more interested in hearing about things you have direct experience with, rather than something that might release in some unknown state at a time when I will probably have already forgotten about it (or wish I’d forgotten it, if it’s a AAA game).
No
I don’t think it would be bad. I would assume it would get its own page to click and read if we feel like it. And as long as it’s not too frequent. Maybe once a week?
